Beer I have seen before
Finally something I was familiar with. I have never had this particular variety, but I am a fan of Rogue’s beer in general. I got to the shop and Sean and crew had been fortunate enough to get off work early and had just opened the bottle. This was a much less formal tasting compared to weeks past, I enjoyed it that way.
Meet my new friend: Rogue Shakespere Stout Both users and the pros rate this particular beer with an “A” on BeerAdvocate.com Finally we make it to a stout, this is my home field stouts and porters. I liked it but Cody and I both felt it tasted a bit “dirty” or “earthy” Interestlingly enough Huckleberry stopped by later with brews in tow and had another of the same. I sipped on it and it did not have the same dirtinees to it. This to me was a very good mild flavored medium body stout with a good amount of “this and that” it was a great just drinking beer (provided your not drinking a lot of them), or even better with a big plate of cow of some sort.
Second I made it to a customer brought beer. Whoever you are I may love you. All I have had of Dogfish is their IPAs the 90 minute is the beer that finally got me to quit trying to like them, just too many hops. Well thier Indian Brown is wonderful. Don’t let the A- fool you on BA.com people are idiots. For a darker brown this was good bit sweeter than what I am used too, and to me it did have the signature hop flavor that every Dogfish Head has. This beer is delicious, and @ 7.2% its enough to get a bit of a buzz going without drinking a six pack in a hour, but not enough that your going to get in trouble going to meet the inlaws after two beers.
I was in heaven with a couple of good “dark beers” however this was part one of the night. It went downhill from there (in several ways). Won’t you please feed my attention whoring desires and come read what I write next? Oh but you ask when should I return? That kind sir or madaam is the mystery, afterall I can’t reveal all my secrets. So be sure to check back again soon.
Ok I cave, a preview: What happens when 3-6 guys continue to drink after everyone leaves. One of which is young and fully admits to having a “good time inducing quantity”? Religion, Shouting, Pimp Cup, Natty Lite, Gangster rap? (Yes more gangster rap, we love eminem but please give us a better suggestion). Try and contain yourself this wait will be much shorter than the elusive: HH Belt Buckle Hunt.
